Parents should speak up on monitoring decency on TV

Kids can be exposed to any number of "fleeting" expletives or partial nudity on TV, and now our right to file formal complaints about this kind of content may be about to end.

Under a new proposal by the Federal Communications Commission, this kind of content will only grow more prevalent on TV unless we can stop this proposal from happening.

The FCC is opening up for public comment whether to only pursue "egregious" complaints from the public over indecent TV content.

But how will the FCC really determine what is important or not? The answer is that it won't. And our ability to protect our kids will be diminished.

I hope that if the public is as concerned about this as I am, that they will contact the FCC to file a public comment before it's too late. You can visit www.parentstv.org for information on how to do this.
